Jen is highly adept at depicting human foibles and small town life (one of the incidental characters, the town gossip, is named Judy Tell-All), and she tells her story from multiple perspectives that help bring her characters alive. As much as I enjoyed the book primarily for the zingers that appear every few pages--I felt that Jen was walking a fine line between humor and pathos, and the juxtaposition wasn't always successful. I wasn't as moved as I might have been, and at times in the serious sections would have preferred a little more levity, though perhaps that's just the mood I was in. I also sometimes had trouble remembering the various Chinese phrases she threw in; I'm not even sure she explained them all.
That said, World and Town is a worthy addition to the oeuvre of an author whose work has given me many hours of enjoyment, and I recommend it highly to anyone interested in a multicultural take on the American and immigrant experience.
